"Anti-Trump Power Building" in the States

Progressive Change Campaign Committee
April 30, 2017


POLITICO reports that the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) sees the 2017 elections as a "proving ground for anti-Trump power building," and that we see a "Donald Trump backlash inspiring candidates from the ground up."
That's true...Great people are deciding to run for office for the first time, and they need help.

We have a plan to elect hundreds of future Elizabeth Warrens in 2017, 2018 and 2020 - all across the nation.

Here's POLITICO's report on our plan to build the progressive bench in the states:
"The Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a Washington-based PAC, sees New Jersey's down-ballot races this year as a proving ground for running candidates with the type of economic populist platform embraced by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and as preparation for running competitive congressional races next year.
The group is trying to transform Democratic politics from the inside.
The PCCC held a training session on April 8 for 45 candidates...and plans to conduct a statewide poll soon 'to benefit the candidates who came to our training so they feel confident running on these Elizabeth Warren type of issues.'"

Time Magazine previously covered the PCCC's "quest to create hundreds of Elizabeth Warrens" through training and resources.
(Breitbart News will likely cover this as a wild conspiracy)
